how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 56 comments (50 from Metacritic, 6 from TMDB reviews) — 17 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 17 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

“For this reason, the movie is somewhat painful to watch. You will certainly find yourself complaining”

“the sequence of the initial attack on the White House isn't just good, it's great”
Gimly · TMDB reviews ↗
“The first act sets the stage well, with a strong focus on character relationships, especially between Mike Banning and the presidential family. The chemistry here makes you care about what’s at stake”
RalphRahal · TMDB reviews ↗
“it transitions smoothly into the high-stakes chaos of the second act”

“By the time you reach the ending, the president’s speech ties everything together in a way that feels satisfying”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“While Olympus Has Fallen breaks no major new ground in the political thriller genre, Fuqua has directed a sharp, very taut adventure that keeps you engrossed from start to finish.”
Bill Zwecker, Chicago Sun-Times · 75
“It's that wonderful, totally unambitious yet satisfying thing, a really good movie.”
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle · 75
“Although the film's real-world credibility is shaky, it works on its own terms.”
James Berardinelli, ReelViews · 75
“Korean-American actor and former model Yune (who played a similar role in "Die Another Day," the last Pierce Brosnan James Bond film) makes a colourful villain – handsome and insufferably assured, and also an unchivalrous sadist who kicks around the Secretary of Defense (Melissa Leo in a pageboy wig) as though she’s a hacky sack.”
Liam Lacey, The Globe and Mail (Toronto) · 75
“Melissa Leo has some standout scenes as the secretary of defense, who gets pretty well beaten up for defying her captors, but others, such as Angela Bassett and Morgan Freeman, have little to do but bite their lips and look tense from the confines of their command posts.”
Marjorie Baumgarten, Austin Chronicle · 67
